Abstract

Objective: Comparison of intraocular pressure (IOP) measurements with the ICare rebound tonometer and the Goldmann applanation tonometer. Methods: We conducted a pilot clinical study in 134 eyes of 134 patiens. IOP was measured using ICare tonometer and Goldmann tonometer, respectively. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 20.0. Results: The mean IOPs by RT and GAT were 15.80 ± 3.52 mmHg and 14.99 ± 2.80 mmHg, respectively. The mean age was 21.57 ± 1.44. The ratio of men to women is 1/1. Measurement results of two tonometers have a positive correlation (r=0.666, p<0.01). The difference in measurement results between two types of tonometers increased with the higher IOP (p=0.293). Conclusion: The ICare tonometer with its compact and convenient advantages can be considered a reliable alternative for screening programs with similar measurement results.
